I found this helpful webpage for various ways of taking screenshots, when using a Linux Distro.

I have an app called Screenshot. I think it was installed by default on Ubuntu. Has multiple options and works well.
Ubuntu 23.10 on 2019 5k iMac
Ubuntu 22.04 on Dell XPS 13

Thanks Mike for the info about "Screenshot".  I will have to look at that one and the one (Flameshot) that they mention in the article.

On my Mint 19.1 , Screenshot is installed by default.  I didn't realize that there was a screenshot program, included with the Mint Distro.

Thanks for the link, Bill. Xubuntu comes with one installed, too. This little tip might only work with Ubuntu-based distros but you can try it. If you just need a full-screen screenshot, press the PrtScn button on your keyboard. It doesn't save it, it just brings up a pic of the desktop you can use. It's usually among the Home, End, PgUp, PgDn buttons, etc.

Looking forward to more screenshots from you, Bill! :)
